The cohort was selected by a pool of institutions, providers, and payors looking to form partnerships and solve challenges with digital health startups.

MassChallenge, which is a global network of zero-equity startup accelerators, announced that 30 digital health startups will join the 2019 MassChallenge HealthTech cohort. MassChallenge HealthTech invites the community to meet the 2019 cohort at its Opening Night event on January 17, 2019 from 6:00 – 8:00pm at Drydock Hall.

"This was our strongest application pool to date," Nick Dougherty, Managing Director of MassChallenge HealthTech, said in a statement. "We feel confident that these startups are going to accomplish amazing things with their Champion partners."

This year's cohort was selected by an impressive pool of institutions, providers, and payors looking to form unique partnerships and solve challenges with digital health startups. Beginning in January, these organizations will support their partner startups throughout the program by facilitating key advisor introductions, pilots, research, and investment opportunities. Startups will also have access to a tailored curriculum, co-working office space, and the opportunity to apply for need-based scholarships at all zero cost and for zero equity. At the end of the program, startups will compete for over $200,000 in zero-equity cash prizes.

To date, the 60 startups who participated in MassChallenge HealthTech have raised more than $145M in funding, generated more than $34M in revenue, created over 700 jobs, and impacted millions of patient lives.
